They have been well looked after and loved throughout their ownership. However, like with all vintage musical equipment, they are due a service. For example, the sliders and jacks need cleaning and re-greasing. But a very well made and rare piece of equipment that is well worth the money, the time and the love! ” Link

“The Arp 2600 is a synth of the top league. Truly easy to use and amazing to create sounds…. This one has been fully serviced and calibrated and it will be gone through again before shipped. The unit included the original around keyboard ..

The front lid of the case is missing, therefore unit is all complete except for the front cover… They appear in eaby from time to time and also there are companies that make news ones but i rather keep equipment all original… ” Link

“This ARP 2600 synthesizer (model 2601) and 2630 keyboard come from my husband’s home studio. I don’t know anything about them. I don’t know if they work or not. I can see that there are a few knobs missing on the 2600. The ID plate has fallen off the ARP. It says, “Model 2601 Synthesizer S/N 2601 – 0286.” Both units include wood cases. They come from a clean, smoke free home. I will not ship these items. This is for a Home Pick Up only. ” Link

“Up for auction is a very clean fully operational ARP 3620 keyboard. Included will be a copy of the operators manual and the service manual only, not all the manuals in the photos go with the sale only the two I mentioned. Was calibrated to my 2600 7-8 years ago by Phil at CMS. As with all vintage electronics item is being sold AS-IS.” Link

For sale is a rare Arp 2600 synthesizer with the more advanced duophonic 3620 keyboard. Serial number on main unit and keyboard are matching, which is quite hard to find. This is a very clean example in excellent condition cosmetically, it’s amazing how nice it looks. Graphics on the unit are very crisp and easy to read, and only minor signs of wear to be found on the unit. Check out the pictures below for more details to make sure you like it.

The main unit was fully serviced just last month and is 100% functional. The servicing cost over $1000. The unit is all original except for a brand new reverb tank. This is an early 2601 v1.0 version with the 4012 Moog filter. The only thing worth noting is the keyboard has not been serviced, it does have a few keys that don’t trigger properly, it just needs a simple cleaning of the key bus bar & contacts. It could also possibly use new bushings if desired. Otherwise everything is working as it should. You aren’t likely to find a nicer 260 with Moog filter and the 3620 keyboard anytime soon. Nothing sounds like these old Arps, the newer Eurorack modular stuff doesn’t even come close to the tone of these old analog beasts. Perfect for soundtrack work, effects, leads, external audio processing and inspiration in your studio. Don’t miss out!” Link

All of this work was carried out by Phil Cirocco in 2013, since then the synthesizer has seen relatively little use and has spent it’s time in a smoke free home studio. So functionally it’s better than new.

I have all of the original patch cables and power supply cable plus an original patch book for the 2600. I also have a new power supply cable (included) and I would recommend using new eurorack patch cables on a day to day basis!

Now on to the not so good stuff:
Aesthetically the case isn’t top notch, I didn’t ever get around to getting it recovered as I kinda liked the patina.

Otherwise the case is missing a couple of latch anchors, which isn’t great but I couldn’t find any OEM replacements and so I left them as is VS putting on new hardware that might not look so good.

You can see the overall state of the case and missing latches in the pictures. ” Link

” Up for sale is this beautiful ARP 2600 2601 v1.0 with 3620 keyboard. Both are in excellent, fully functional condition and have been restored and upgraded (see below). The “orange and black” 2601 is the last 2600 version produced by ARP. It is the most reliable version, an update to the more common grey version. None of the modules are set in epoxy, making it more serviceable in the long run. The 3620 keyboard is also the last revision of the keyboard produced specifically for the 2600. It has and added LFO (to free one of the oscillators), but best of all, it has duophony!” Link

The road case is large, durable, and has wheels! Unfortunately the foam lining inside is beginning to disintegrate with age and you’ll want to replace it at some point. Still, it’s a great way to move the unit or keep it safe in storage. I’ve taken care to wrap the ARP in plastic so as to not get any foam dust in the synth itself.” Link

This ARP has the pre-law suit 4012 “Moog” filter.

Oscillator 2 is still the original build but oscillator 1 and 3 have been re-built on perf boards to the exact spec of the originals and sound amazing. This ARP system has been used in a functioning recording studio until this listing and is fully functional. Looking for that thick, low fat sound as well as high end keyboard tones? This ARP has them and more.

“Up for sale is my beloved ARP 2600 w/3620 duophonic keyboard. This is a very special unit. The keyboard has been rebuilt with all new bushings and feels and plays great. The main unit has been rebuilt and upgraded by Phil Cirocco of CMS and boasts a new robust power supply and a custom built new 4012-style Ladder filter. This filter mimics the original 4012, but is more stable and sounds more musical to my ear. All drifted components have been replaced. This unit also features CMS’ Audio Path Upgrade which dramatically increases the fidelity of the unit. The lows are low, the highs are high and the noise is virtually non-existent. You can actually use the spring reverb when recording. It was calibrated in 2013, has not been moved and stays in my smoke-free personal studio. There is virtually NO warm-up time. Turn it on and play! Everything about this unit works great. This unit comes with a new power cord, plenty of patch cables, a reprint of the owner’s manual, and a reprint of the ARP 2600 Patch book.. For anyone not familiar with the ARP 2600 I am more than happy to do a SKYPE tutorial to help get you started. As stated above, there are some small tolex blemishes, but nothing on any facing panels. The printing on the main unit faceplate is immaculate and there are no scratches on the metal! The keyboard faceplate is near perfect with only a small smear of the word “vibrato”. It looks great! ” Link

“Vintage arp 2600 with matching duophonic keyboard in wonderful condition both cosmetically and functionally. It’s been well cared for its entire life. Comes with an array of patch cables, original power chord and the cable to connect the keyboard to the synthesizer. Pitch bend knob is not original and one slider cap is missing however the slider itself works perfectly. Given the age of the arp 2600 is must be sold as is.

Your new arp 2600 will be shipped out double boxed in two separate packages to ensure maximum safety. ” Link

” This ARP 2600 is in perfect working condition and was lovingly restored last month by the world famous The Analog Lab here in New York City. Over $2000 was spent to do the job thoroughly and correctly.

You may find one in better cosmetic condition, but not one that functions better than this unit.

“You are bidding on an ARP 2600 Synthesizer. I had this unit serviced by Phil Cirocco at CMS about 8 years ago.. .. The Keyboard has a few issues with pitch on some of the keys so i haven’t been using it much. It comes with lids for the main unit and keyboard but they seem to have been from a different era 2600.. they fit but the latches don’t exactly line up.. The synth sounds wonderful and everything works perfectly.. I’ve used this in my studio for the past 15 years and it always does that magical thing that 2600’s do… the CMS upgrades give you tons of other options for creating sounds…I’ll throw in the Kenton Pro 2000 cv to midi unit with this auction” Link

” For auction is an ARP 2600 synthesizer, including the 3620 Keyboard, manufactured in 1974, based on the internal console markings. The 3620 has 4 octaves, and is the preferred keyboard for the 2600, as it includes an LFO, Vibrato, Portamento, second CV output for 2-voice operation and jacks for footswitches.

This ARP has had some recent repairs. VCO-1, the VCF and the Ring Modulator are all brand new, and made by CMS.

The keyboard, although fully-functional, could benefit from calibration by an experienced tech. Also, VCO-1 is not normalled to the VCF Mixer. You can simply patch either wave (square or triangle) to the VCO input on the mixer for full functionality. VCO 2 and 3 are normalled, or they can be patched. As you can see in the photos, the sliders in the voltage processor section are missing their tabs, although they are 100% functional and have been lubricated and cleaned, along with all other sliders.

Finally, the lid for the keyboard is included, but the lid for the console is missing.

I will include patch cords, power cord and the original ARP 2600 owner’s manual and ARP Patch Book.

I’ve had this one for 10 years now and it has always been in my smoke free studio. It has been well taken care and I had the midi mod installed about 7 years ago. Cosmetically this unit for it’s age is in great condition, the face has a few light blemishes. There is one small scuff on the cabinet just below the face, it is shown in the pictures. It comes with the original owner’s manual, a copy of the Patchbook with lots of patches for different sounds.
Also, this one has the 4012 filter which was later discontinued.

This synth powers up and works but due to it’s age and because it is an analog synthesizer, it is being sold as is.” Link

” Up for sale is a (1) vintage ARP 2600 synthesizer. It’s the rare European 2602 model (200 – 250V) with 3620 keyboard. The synthesizer is in good working condition and sounds awesome! Optical it’s in near mint condition, but there are some minor scratches on it, wear and tear and eight knobs are not original ones, but Odyssey knobs (see photo’s). It comes with both lids, the original owner’s manual, patch book and some patch cables. We will give it a service prior to the shipment or pick-up. The serial number of the synthesizer is: 0159.” Link

For sale is a very rare Arp 2600 Black/Orange modular synth with matching keyboard. It’s in MINT shape, kept in climate controlled storage almost its entire life & never used. It looks like new! There are only a very few markings on the outside tolex, but otherwise the internals are in perfect shape. Practically fit for a museum. This may be the nicest looking Arp you will ever find. Front face panel is perfect, crisp graphics & lettering that look like it came out of the factory yesterday. Includes matching serial number on the keyboard with the latest updated keyboard model 3620. No rust or mold or damp smell here, no worn graphics or scratch pots or jack issues like you find on most old Arps. The tolex is original, still looks like new minus a few very minor scratches & minor dings. All the latches & hardware is original, working & without rust or tarnish. It’s fully functional & was fully serviced before sale, including cleaning of sliders, tuning & calibration, new keyboard bushings. All keys are level & play perfectly. It’s ready to be the centerpiece for your studio. It sounds amazing as a fully functional Arp 2600 should sound. Huge, thick & unique analog, a sound designers dream instrument. Nothing else sounds quite like a 2600. Check out the pictures below. Includes power cable. Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime chance to get a like new condition legendary Arp 2600!” Link
